Purdue University
Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, Indiana, U.S., is the flagship university of the six-campus Purdue University System. Purdue was founded on May 6, 1869, as a land-grant university when the Indiana General Assembly, taking advantage of the Morrill Act, accepted a donation of land and money from Lafayette businessman John Purdue to establish a college of science, technology, and agriculture in his name. The first classes were held on September 16, 1874, with three buildings, six instructors, and 39 students. Today, Purdue enrolls the second largest student body of any university in Indiana as well as the second largest international student population of any public university in the United States. This is a result of its aggressive recruiting policies abroad, particularly in Latin America and Asia.

This video is designed to help you develop your ability to work with silver and gold striking colors (such as northstar's Amber Purple and Exotics color families) to learn what type of flame produces what type of effect. A basic understanding of flame settings is assumed however the general rule for flame settings is: Oxidizing Flame: More Oxygen than Fuel gas, hissing sound from torch is heard and light blue streaks form at the torch head with medium to heavy oxidizing flames, this is the flame type generally used to work silver containing colors or colors that are sensitive to reduction. Neutral flame: I find this flame easiest by going to a slightly oxidizing flame then dialing back on oxygen until light blue streaks disappear from the flame and the tip of the flame is not flickering (like a candle does in a breeze) A neutral flame means that there is not an excess of either gas (oxy or fuel) in the flame, they are both being completely consumed. A Neutral flame is the hottest flame type as the gas to oxy ratio is optimal. Reducing Flame: Fuel rich flame, generally characterized by a softer and larger flame (the sides are more rounded and the tip of the flame flickers like a candle would in the breeze depending on air movement around the torch), this flame is generally used to bring metals (such as silver or gold) to the surface in colors containing them or for flame annealing.

nugget]] is made of gold]]
Gold, also called golden, is one of a variety of orange-yellow color blends used to give the impression of the color of the element gold.
The web color gold is sometimes referred to as golden to distinguish it from the color metallic gold. The use of gold as a color term in traditional usage is more often applied to the color "metallic gold" (shown below).
The first recorded use of golden as a color name in English was in 1300 to refer to the element gold and in 1423 to refer to blond hair.
Metallic gold, such as in paint, is often called goldtone or gold-tone. In model building, the color gold is different from brass. A shiny or metallic silvertone object can be painted with transparent yellow to obtain goldtone, something often done with Christmas decorations.
Variations
Gold (metallic gold)
At right is displayed a representation of the color metallic gold (the color traditionally known as gold) which is a simulation of the color of the actual metallic element gold itself—gold shade.The source of this color is the ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Color Names (1955), a color dictionary used by stamp collectors to identify the colors of stamps—See color sample of the color Gold (Color Sample Gold (T) #84) displayed on indicated web page:
The distinctive sheen of a metallic color cannot be indicated on a computer screen, as the web color display process has no mechanism for indicating metallic or fluorescent colors.
The first recorded use of gold as a color name in English was in the year 1400.
Web color gold vs. metallic gold
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the color metallic gold as "A light olive-brown to dark yellow, or a moderate, strong to vivid yellow."Of course, the visual sensation usually associated with the metal gold is its metallic shine. This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color, because the shiny effect is due to the material's reflective brightness varying with the surface's angle to the light source.
This is why, in art, a metallic paint that glitters in an approximation of real gold would be used; a solid color like that of the cell displayed in the box to the right does not aesthetically "read" as gold. Especially in sacral art in Christian churches, real gold (as gold leaf) was used for rendering gold in paintings, e.g. for the halo of saints. Gold can also be woven into sheets of silk to give an East Asian traditional look.
More recent art styles, e.g. art nouveau, also made use of a metallic, shining gold; however, the metallic finish of such paints was added using fine aluminum powder and pigment rather than actual gold.

Blonde hair in women (or sometimes men) is sometimes referred to poetically as golden. It is estimated by geneticists that the gene for blonde hair originated about 3000 BC in the area now known as Lithuania among the recently arrived Proto-Indo-European settlers of the area (Lithuania is still the country that has the highest percentage of people with blonde hair); it is thought the gene spread quickly through sexual selection into Scandinavia when that area was settled because men found women with blonde hair attractive.
